The word Vintage scare me a little bit.....
"Antique" used to mean to dealers and collectors something about 100 years old or more. "Vintage" meant something about 50 years old or more but not "antique". This item is certainly vintage in the classic definition, though both terms were seldom used for stamps. We've seen where the words are nowadays heavily abused/have had their meanings changed where "antique" is often used to describe something 50-75 years old or even less, "vintage" something older than 20-25 years old or even less.
